kon: oh! that's cool, yeah-- wait. does that mean you want us to call you transsie now instead...?
cissie:
kon, earnest puppy dog head tilt: ?
cissie:
transsie: actually you know what yeah that would be really funny. especially if you do it in front of rob, okay?
#bart (from the 30th century where these words for gender just don't apply anymore bc the vocab is entirely different): whats a transgender#the narrator: bart was also transgender. he just hadn't noticed yet.#furthermore KON was also transgender he just needs SEVERAL more years to even begin figuring that one out#put that one back in the oven he's not done cooking yet!#this is a dumb joke. sorry. i just think that cissie -> transsie is an inherently hilarious concept#but to be so real just about everyone on yj is trans#i say just about bc i think slobo's gender is just slobo (this could be a form of trans) and greta is (to me anyway) the token cis friend#rimi talks#yj#kon#cissie

where's the rant ???
Alright so rant time: people constantly argue that making a character a transwoman is the same as making them a ciswoman and frankly thatās wrong. Iām sorry but it is. As a small disclaimer: Iām nonbinary and I am in school getting a sociology degree. I will be using sex to refer to biology and gender to refer to otherwise.
Using Tim Drake as an example: the stories you tell with a transgirl or a cisgirl version are incredibly different from each other. Because men and women are socialized drastically different from one another. While the character of Tim Drake (fierce, loyal, hard working, generous, and wanting to do so much good) wouldnāt change so much else about Tim would in either option.
With a transgirl Tim Drake, you have how society would react to her and coming out. Iād also argue that she wouldnāt come out until her teen years because of Jack. No one can tell me that this man would be okay with his kid being a transgirl. You just canāt tell me that. Janet is a toss up because of the limited information we have on her as a character. She however did neglect her kid, and in general I think that as new or old money, whichever you want to use, she would have problems with image, considering that a trans child could go bad for the PR. But even ignoring the parents, a transgirl!Tim would have a totally different story. I expect her story woudl go much like canon for a while until she is able to articulate that she is a girl. Then I expect backlash from people, one of them being Stephanie.
Iām probably in the minority when it comes to my thoughts that Steph is a straight woman who would react to her partner coming out as a woman badly because āwhat does that say about ME?!ā I wonāt go into my issues with Steph. Others have done it way better but I do think that she and Tim both messed up their relationship even if frankly most of the blame is on Stephās feet. BUT ANYWAYS: Tim coming out would cause issues there. A harsh reaction is never great for a baby trans kid and I can see Tim retreating as Steph goes off to complain to someone like Babs. Who I then think would be upset with Steph for outing Tim. Baba then acts as a pillar for Tim who slowly can come out on her own terms. Bruce and Dick I donāt think would have an issue and Jason? Letās be real: Jason wouldnāt give a fuck in the sense itās āokay wait, girl? Okayā¦ Iāll still beat the shit out of youā.
The media would pitch a fit and I think that YJ would become closer over this, but I also think that there will be backlash from other members of the cape community. There just isnāt a way there wouldnāt be because while sure a lot are accepting you canāt tell me everyone is. Also the rouges. Unless Bruce asks Tim to pretend to be a guy still whichā¦ OUCH. I feel that is on brand and also something Tim would struggle so much with but want to obey while everyone is yelling at Bruce.
Then a transitioning Tim when her father wakes up probably wouldnāt go back to him because I doubt his reaction is a good one, and so she stays with Bruce. Probably becoming adopted. She and Cass would bond and I can see Tim developing further and becoming more confident as time goes on. She is less confident as Robin as she is not allowed to be herself.
The Damian and Iām torn. On one hand: I kind of like the idea that the League are all assholes but they also are chill with queer people cause Raās is creepy with canon Tim. In the other this is something he can attack Tim over and I doubt heād give up the chance the little psycho.
Soā¦ Damian would be a thorn but I think that Dick steps in way more here because ābaby assassin trying to kill Tim since he doesnāt know betterā is very different then āa transphobic kid being a shit to Timā. Sad but true.
Timās story drastically changes by being a transgirl and itās one that is VASTLY different then being a ciswoman because Tim still was socialized as a boy from birth. There is still a level of privilege she got from birth that a ciswoman doesnāt. People would react to her being trans in multiple ways such as denial or disgust.
But a cisgirl!Tim? Wellā¦
People expect different things from the sexes. Women are supposed to be soft, gentle, not to loud and are supposed to be kind. Boys get to be demanding and loud and smart and rough.
Tim as a girl would have Jack and Janet reacting differently. Itās a personal headcanon for me that Jack imposes a lot of his traits onto Tim as a boy because āitās my son and he is thus like meā. A girl though heād expect to be a ācute and soft girl who is there for me to pull out of the closestā because frankly the guy who willing marries someone not even a decade older then his kid who uses to be his physical therapist is a LOSER who would. Janet is again a toss up but I feel sheād have more of an impact for this Tim as being a woman in buisness or archeology is a field she had to climb and claw her way through. Things she would then pass on to her daughter.
Women are expected to be feminine and gentle. Iām actually fond of a girly fem!Tim compared to others, but I think itās more of a punk girly then not. Janet totally would have weaponized her femininity in a way Tim tries to mimic. Dresses, soft smiles, doe eyes but a sharp mind about to rip you apart. Her interests in photography would be dismissed as āartsy girlā and sheād be put into ballet or gymnastics with some comments over martial arts.
Women will have people talk about them if they do anything out of the ordinary. They arenāt supposed to ride skateboards or things because thatās what boys are expected to do. They arenāt supposed to like climbing things or other shit.
Tim as someone born a girl, and as either new money or old money, would be expected to have certain traits a boy is allowed to not have. So without a doubt she had etiquette lessons and dance lessons and anything else her mother might have decided were useful because Jack wouldnāt have noticed anything. Even if itās cause Janet got mocked by people for not knowing I canāt see Tim not having these lessons.
Tim who has a great mask and who keeps her lives seperate this would have her high society mask, her vigilante mask, her public self and her real self because girls are still expected to act a certain way in public. Any interest that deviates form what society expects is brushed off as āsheās trying to be uniqueā or ātomboyā or āfitting in with the boysā.
We finally get to Robin now because Tim is still Tim and I donāt doubt she would do the same thing, fight to become Robin, but with this comes itās own problems. Threats of sexual assault, comments about being a girl, crude comments about opening her legs or how she fights: all of these would follow her. We can go: some rouges are nice all we want but not all of them are.
Then we have Stephanie and that relationship is already drastically changed because Stephanie again is straight, and I think that Tim would be able to connect to Steph much better as a girl. I still think it wouldnāt be the healthiest of friendships because of everything but I also think that Tim being a girl while having hard lines is very different from a boy with boundaries because Steph knows as a girl what itās like to have boundaries. She would feel bad for breaking them compared to āTim is upset I found out his identity boohoo why is he upset with me?ā.
We have Dick to and Iām going to be real honest: I think Dick is sexist enough to make assumptions of Tim. He doesnāt have issues with women but in general heās a bit of a douche bag (sleeping with Babs while inviting her to his wedding with Kori anyone?) that he would put some expectations on this Tim related to being a girl. Of course Tim tosses those out of the water and I think heād adapt but still: Dick is justā¦ I think heās the guy who puts a lot of stock into blood relations more then we know (ala Damian) and that heās got a few assumptions about the Robin title along with thoughts on girls.
Bruce isā¦ I think his expectations would be similar to canon with an emphasis on her being a girl. He knows competent women but in his world most of the female heroes are super powered or criminals, with Barbara being a shining example of a non-powered hero who got hurt. Heās going to compare it. I think it would either be worse then canon or heās going to shove her off on female heroes more because he isnāt sure how to handle her.
Barbara as well I think is closer then canon to Tim being a girl and sort of the Batfam early compared to Stephanie. I actually think Babs would be a lot more posessive of Tim because of this, but this miiiight just be me. I know Tim and Cass would be incredibly close as well much like canon.
Jason and Damian though? Okay so Iāll be blunt: Jason is the kind of guy who is a feminist and supports womanās rights but has a few issues with women heās never been able to articulate. Society would press on him women are supposed to be fantastic mothers who put their families first and then he gets Sheila and Catherine. And while Catherine may have loved him society says sheās a terrible mother. Then we have Talia and no matter what the āsleeping togetherā thing is fucked up. It just IS. So Jason has issues. However I think said issues being thrown into his face would make him stop short. Yet his reaction to a girl taking the mantle is one that would beā¦ tricky as hell.
Damian? Damian is sexist and could go one of four ways: a) canon, b) WORSE then canon, c) dismissive and arrogant assuming she is just there to be trained and would be shoved out of the role as soon as heās there no need to fight which turns into canon reaction when she isnāt or d) an assumption sheās there as a bride for someone. Because frankly it is something I can see him assuming. Bruce training a girl much like how Dick/Jason was trained so eventually they would marry to be solid heirs. The LoA is messed up and Talia might be a woman but she was raised there so thereās probably a āexception to the ruleā mentality with her. And I can see Damian either then: deciding he would be Timās groom as the true heir to the Bat or he would go: well time to marry her off now.
Either works. Heād still be violent and cruel towards her but thatās just Damian in general until he mellows out.
I think losing Robin in this world would be much more of a blow for Tim because of the sexism sheās faced. Being the lesser Robin for being a girl, how people reacted to her being feminine, seeing how Dick so easily tosses her aside for a male child. How people probably would go: yes! A good Robin finally! Or how his more violent reaction probably gets praised over her. Mixed in with the dismissal of Bruce being alive which feels worse as women are always getting dismissed by people and Tim lashes out harder then in canon.
We then come back to Babs because thereās only two ways she can react: canon or she goes āIāll listen for real as I know the guys suck at listening to the girlsā and making her decisions that way. (And letās be real Babs would know. Give me more female solidarity in comics and not the weird catty crap we get otherwise)
We then have canon happen with Raās being just as creepy mixed with a lot more sexism on her world tour.
One thing I do think would happen like canon is Tim realizing sheās bisexual when Fem!Bernard comes along and gets her thinking about it because girls are allowed to be touchy with each other so her not knowing is twice as likely.
These stories are VASTLY different from one another and the assumption that they wouldnāt be is insulting. Yes, transwomen are women but thereās still a huge difference in a story about either of them. Both these stories have very different thoughts and reactions from characters.
Just pretending that theyāre one in the same is wrong. And pretending thereās a moral high ground when you claim they are is just being a dick.

WIP Tag Game!
tagged by @dear-massacre ! AND @whimsicalmeerkat! WHIL i was writing my post lolol
This is sorta smth i track regularly? but i have it all sorted by word count akdgjkajdg it's part of my progress tracker server w some friends. Adding words is the easiest way to track 'working on a project' so that's what i do! I also have a (separate) doc in my drive folder that tracks just, general prompts, so when i have ideas i slap them in there.
Current (Teen Wolf) WIPs:
TriReign: Shepherd, Lamb, Wolf: small outline, chapters 1-4 complete, 5 wip - 16,575 - Sterek, Medieval Fantasy, Arranged Marriage, Omegaverse, Political Drama, Sex and Politics, Duty and Honor and Subterfuge, etc. my current current current WIP. Baseball AU: Collab? outline - 331. MOSTLY this is just. a Roster and some thoughts about a general plot concept. I want to illustrate this but i can't do a comic. It's also a Sterek concept. FratBoi Stiles x RA!Derek: 52 - this is just straight up a PWP with the prompt borrowed from a TWT moot that ive been meaning to work on for ages and just haven't yet. Higher Education 2: 2,821 Sciles, trans!Stiles, post-canon college AU. Also PWP, but also my gross unhygenic sloppy AU kinda. it's just. its grossnasty wet n sloppy porn. i wanted to finish this and then write a Third part for Sciles week this year and i didn't. whoops There's a Werewolf Tradition for That: 72 - Sterek didn't know they were dating AU. Alive!Hales but Werewolves are still a secret. Stiles and Derek are good friends and roommates, they're both idiots pining for each other, and out of the blue Derek's Mom sends them a formal invitation to celebrate their engagement. Stiles doesn't even know Derek's a werewolf. total ROMCOM, kinda inspired by My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but only in Vibes. Lone Wolf Wild West AU: Chapters 1, 2 posted, not outline - 3,670. Sterek, Lone Ranger!Derek, son of the sheriff Stiles. Mystery, adventure, romance. I miss cowboy...
Somewhere in here I will also put my Collabang fic and any other events i sign up for, because I'm gonna have to pause my major WIPs to work on them lol
1920's Mafia AU: Outline only - 1313 - Stiles is a city detective, the sheriff is the Police Commissioner, this takes place in Los Angeles. There are tunnels running all through the city, albeit underneath (real). There's been an uptick in gang activity lately. Stiles secretly 'runs' by which i mean, owns and protect, but isn't involved in Actually Running, an underground speakeasy in the heart of the city. He doesn't let any gangs runs their trouble on his turf. Until one day, a Hale is shot by an Argent right outside his doors. Sterek SuperBat ComicCon MeetCute: WIP One Shot - 1,049 Inspired by MultiE's art. nerd x nerd solidarity Sciles Ancient Greece AU: 192 - this is a friggin poem and is probably gonna stay a poem. New! Sex For Work: Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 - 23,228. Part 5? Sterek BDSM CEO x Personal Assistant AU. Originally intended to be kinky prompt fill series but Caught Plot. I meant to rewrite it last month to convert it into a standalone story, but uhhhh didn't. I DID do reformatting though. I just need to get writing on it again, but i tend to be kinda singleminded.
Other Fandom WIPs:
Big Blue Boyscout: 47 - Superman x Nightwing, xenophilia fic. "He's Big and Blue in more ways than one..." Bruce Wayne Visits Smallville: 685 - I got distracted while bingeing smallville for the first time and haven't gone back, but this was just supposed to be a one shot but my outline grew legs DP/YJ Crossover: 220 - this is more of a concept than a real specific fic, but i REALLY like comparing danny phantom to specifically the young justice animated series, and i wanted to try and come up with a cohesive clone comparison plot, rather than just making it a lil joke. Maybe it'll be Danny x Conner because himbo tee shirt conner is my baby boy baby boy Not So Blushing, Not So Virgin: 40 - SuperBat role reversal where everyone expects clark to be this sweet inexperienced things and then he absolutely blows bruce's back out.
Hiatus Projects:
Universal Law of Gravitation: Chapter 1 WIP, significant outline - 3,080 - Sterek Lifetime fic. I wrote out this huge long super comprehensive timeline and got super caught up in it. It's supposed to be about how, despite their best efforts, Stiles and Derek just can't stay apart, so there are a ton of messy breakups and fights in between. I just never put together an actual proper Plot, so when i started writing it, i got SUPER bored. It has a playlist! and i made a bunch of pseudo-science chapter titles hehe A Fever You Can't Sweat Out: Chapter 1 posted, Chapter 2 WIP, significant outline - 9,911 - Sterek, Marrish, Scallison, post-canon AU, surprise mpreg! Similarly to ULG, i wrote out a huge big timeline and outline and got super nitty gritty into the details, but literally Chapter One i went Off Track and it just killed my motivation. It's HUGELY ensemble, and i picked out jobs and hobbies for like 12 people to all live in a big ol estate together. It also suffered from "world building but no plot", but i DID try to make a plot, it just. wasn't good haha. The entire concept is, Lydia gets pregnant which makes Allison baby crazy so she gets pregnant and Stiles wants a baby so, so bad, but he's dating dating/married to Derek and therefore would have to adopt or something, but he wants it so bad he magics himself up a contraception.
Prompts!
Derek is moody, Stiles teases him about the fact he like, never smiles. Kisses him on a whim to get a rise out of him. And then proceeds to have a existential crisis after because "oh shit did he just kiss DEREK".
Werewolf!Stilesā Pavlovian Pleasure Response to Scottās Click (iykwim)
Stiles x Jeep crack smut oneshot
Post Nogi stiles is having trouble feeling like himself again. he feels a sharp disconnect with his Self that he didn't used to have, like he's lost touch with his humanity. He needs someone to remind him how it feels to be human.
unspecified/platonic - In this kind of weather, it makes more sense to stay inside. Or rather, stay inside somewhere else. Stiles sets up shop in a bookstore's cafe to while away the time warm espresso, a good book, and his own company. Until Someone/Something Else comes knocking.
Supernatural Boarding school (circa 2005-2009 role-play forum vibes)
Bastard Prince Jackson and Freedom Fighter Stiles (see doc)
Stilesā mythology professor bites off more than either can chew - The Great Beacon Hills Custody Battle
āTeenage Dirtbagā Loser!Stiles Sterek fic
all of my prompts literally only exist in a single document where i put Ideas i like adkgjakjg everything in wips has a dedicated doc, but most of them dont have much written yet.
There's also 1 absent prompt here that im now saving for the collabang so ive omitted it from my counts because its technically a wordcount of 0 until i get to start working w my artist (:
no pressure tags! @renmackree @lavender-lotion @like-lazarus @geekmom13 @endwersed

moss might i please have some trans tim headcanons. or trans kon if youāre feeling it.
Hii blink thank you blink i always have those<3
Kon is nonbinary and transfem to me and i do have a more specific way this happens in mind which is he starts questioning his gender after already figuring out hes not straight, and this is a few years down the line post sb 2011, so hes getting comfortable living on the farm and having a group of friends there, being a part of the kent family (hes never had a family before!!) and its because of that new personal comfort and safety that he can think more about himself as a person and not just. An icon with a role.
I read his tt03 era as his big Repression Period (along with cassie) where he figures he has to be a Normal Real Boy so he ditches the 90s superboy charm for a more traditionally masculine look, which maybe works for his secret identity but isnt what he actually enjoys. So later he starts growing out his hair and tiptoes around more flashy costumes which are daunting now, because kon has a lot of hate for his younger self for being foolish and a try hard, and this all reminds him of himself back then.
Its a slow process but he will get there eventually and i think living with ma helps a lot. Being away from the public eye and with someone who wouldn't judge him for not wanting to look as masculine would do kon wonders. Also he hangs out a lot with the yj girls, and i imagine cissie would eventually she starts putting makeup on him for funsies (and bc cassie doesnt let her) which kon has many feelings about. No worries! Anita braids his hair like she did cissies so many times and kon goes haha does this mean im one of the girls now as a joke and then has many feelings about that too bc what if he Wants to be one of the girls? Uh oh
I have less of a specific timeline for tim so some scattered ones are:
It would take her a long time to make peace with being trans and to come out, bc imo tim would not be a fan of the Coming Out Process. Would hate to do it. Would only do it once its the last feasible option bc shes sick of lying (again) and being seen so wrongly by everyone. I think she just writes cassie a note or something like it would be funny.
Jack having been so obsessed with tim being his perfect masculine son would make all of this especially hard but also make certain stuff make more sense in retrospect. Its impossible to think about tim being queer in any way without thinking back on jacks behavior.
Theres a v sweet image in my head of helena braiding tims hair bc once she lets it grow out tim does not know what to do with it and helena has to do something about that (set in a future where helena knows tims identity. The cowl doesn't really show hair. But boy it must be sweaty gross in there).
While i think kon would be big into makeup and all sorts of fun clothes and shoes i dont imagine tim being That much into it, is not as much of a makeup girlie, loves a nice dress but mostly for occasions and such.
One of the reasons why itd take her so long to figure herself out is she mostly didnt get body dysphoria until she thought of the possibility of Not Being A Man and then started noticing little things that bothered her, bc tim would be very aware of which traditional standards for being a woman she is not fulfilling. Very aware of and held back by the Issue Of Bodies And How They Are Perceived, as you do.
The initial realization would probably be something sudden that she refuses to think about for a while bc tim v much lives by that post thats like i may be trans but i have a job so idc about that rn. Its in the back of her mind and she is Not examining it when there are bad guys to punch out there.
#I have to note that i dont believe in skinny kon and this goes twice as hard for transfem kon#Just bc hes not a man doesnt mean he loses all his muscle mass and body fat come on#Anyway yay thank u tb. I love thinking about trans hcs always and forever#Ask

So what is this glitch techs show?
Itās on Netflix. Very video-gamey-style, sort of Men-In-Black, but instead of aliens itās escaped video games. In a license-free world, that glitch where Knuckles got stuck on the wall in the Game Grumps vid would have resulted in Knuckles sliding right through the video game and exploding into the real world and then beating up everyone looking for the Chaos Emeralds.
Two teens uncover the organization and its jerk of a champion (voiced by Luke Youngblood of Galavant and Harry Potter fame), then they fight to protect citizens.Ā
Great action scenes, fun world...I got roped into it because Aimee told people to follow Zehra Fazal (Halo and a billion others in YJ, Mara in She-Ra) on Twitter, and sheās one of the primary secondary characters...but I also first saw it because I think @strixmoonwing works on it, but I havenāt seen her name in the credits yet.
Itās wonderfully diverse, has killer animation, and Miko is just the Best. Pretty sure thereās a trans girl in the show, too (thereās no attention drawn but itās the easiest line to jump to, even if her VA is cis), but itās very well-dispersed with gender and racial representation, so Iāve got nothing but positives to say about it.
Also if youāve ever played a major video game, youāll probably find it getting a shout-out.Ā
But really, itās the STYLE of the show that makes it stick out more than anything.

Tough Questions Answered: Is Everyone But White Privileged Males in Danger?
For the inaugural article in our brand-new Hard Questions Addressed collection, we asked a couple of idea leaders in the yoga neighborhood to weigh in on white male privilege in honor of International Female's Day.
On Wednesday, March 8th, Global Women's Day, the coordinators of the Women's March are prompting females to take part in A Day Without a Female to identify the value that ladies of all histories, races, ethnic backgrounds, faiths, immigration standings, as well as sex-related identities add to our socioeconomic system. They are encouraging women to take the time off from paid as well as unsettled labor, avoid searching for eventually (with exemptions for little, females- and also minority-owned companies), and/or put on red to show economic uniformity as well as prove a point concerning sex justice.
' On International Women's Day, March 8th, women as well as our allies will certainly act with each other for equity, justice as well as the civils rights of ladies and all gender-oppressed individuals, through a one-day presentation of economic uniformity,' the coordinators say on their web site. 'In the exact same spirit of love and also liberation that motivated the Female's March, we collaborate in making March 8th A Day Without a Lady, recognizing the massive value that females of all histories add to our socioeconomic system-- while getting lower earnings as well as experiencing greater inequities, susceptability to discrimination, unwanted sexual advances, and job insecurity. We recognize that trans and gender-nonconforming people deal with heightened degrees of discrimination, social injustice, and also political targeting. We think in gender justice.'
Russell Simmons, yogi, hip hop pioneer, entrepreneur, as well as chairman of the Foundation for Ethnic Recognizing, elevated a similar point last month when he was advertising his 'Today, I Am A Muslim Too Rally' to oppose Head of state Trump's travel ban. In a press release concerning the occasion, he stated: "Everybody other than white fortunate males are in instant danger. African-Americans, ladies, Latinos, Asians, as well as LGBTQ are all in jeopardy, yet there is no liberty in that privileged status either because the spirit of the oppressor is suppressed too.'
Simmons' words are a lot more effective a few weeks later, since Trump has signed a new executive order momentarily barring individuals from 6 predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States and also rolled back protections for transgender pupils. Simmons is likewise supporting A Day Without a Woman by offering free of charge yoga courses and design bar therapies at his West Hollywood yoga exercise workshop, Tantris, on Wednesday, March 8th.
For the inaugural blog post in our brand-new Hard Questions Addressed collection ( as well as in honor of International Female's Day/A Day Without a Female), we asked a few idea leaders in the yoga and reflection community if they agree with Simmons' statement, as well as what yogis can do to do something about it, on or off the mat.
Q: Is everyone except white blessed men in prompt danger?
Kerri Kelly, owner as well as president of CTZNWELL
A: Is it real that white males are the most fortunate segment of our populace? Absolutely. White males have actually gained from this country's legacy of manifest destiny, racism and free enterprise business economics greater than anybody else. However, I assume a more crucial quote from Simmons is, 'As a yogi, I feel and think all Americans need to really feel personally threatened by Trump's selections to target Muslims. Targeting any kind of one of us remains in reality targeting everyone.' It affirms our connection and the idea that none of us are well unless everybody are well. Simmons is motivating us to ask more challenging concerns about who we remain in connection to one an additional - like, 'Just how do I gain from the system as a result of my specific brand of benefit' as well as 'Exactly how does my opportunity create an illusion of immunity or safety that keeps me disengaged?' Simmons' quote is not authorization to play the target, it's an invitation to examine your benefit and reach deal with behalf of the whole.
The reality is, everybody is at danger. This management is endangering our economic climate, our world, as well as our mankind. Nobody obtains off scot-free. However (and this is a huge nevertheless), some are definitely a lot more in jeopardy than others-- one of the most vulnerable, being people of shade, immigrants, Muslims, women seeking reproductive liberty, trans and also gender-nonconforming people, and people with disabilities. It's important to understand that we experience various degrees of benefit (or do not have thereof).
What you can do:
This is a time to practice uniformity. Uniformity is not just exactly what we do, yet who we are. It understands that love is justice. It verifies that our liberation is bound which no one is free unless everybody is totally free. It demands that we reveal up, speak up, and also defend justice, equal rights, and freedom. It urges us to aim for connections as well as communities that have the tendency to the health of every person. And also it knows that wellness is only possible with the complete involvement and also awareness of every one of its parts.
Nicki Doane, co-owner, Maya Yoga exercise in Maui
A: Russell Simmons' statement (and rally) concerning the prompt threat and threat that impacts almost white privileged men in America was enthusiastic, heartfelt, and within his First Modification civil liberties as an American to do so. Whether I concur with it or otherwise will certainly confirm to be seen as the future is unraveling in the present moment all around us. The 2nd half of his declaration-- that the spirit of the oppressor is suppressed as well-- rings much more real for me in relation to yoga exercise method, due to the fact that I do believe that our activities and our ideas as well as words can develop our own prison. Flexibility is a state of mind, when one is oppressing an additional, they could never ever truly be free. Yoga is the ceasing of the agitations and also the calming of the fluctuations of the mind, and when one is restricting an additional's flexibility and also triggering agitation to one more, the power is unclear and also the oppressor suffers as well, whether they accept it or reside in denial.
What you can do:
Practice resistance. The way to alter people's minds and also hearts is with living examples. We can not anticipate kids that mature revealed to hatred and also intolerance to be anything but impacted. This opening of American's hearts as well as minds need to be done on a grassroots level, someone each time. If we are teaching tolerance in our yoga classes, after that we need to be tolerant in our day-to-days live, or at the minimum, attempt to do our ideal everyday to be kinder, extra tolerant, as well as much more caring. If we do not begin with our own self, then we could not anticipate anyone else to transform either.
Sharon Salzberg, meditation teacher
A: I expanded up with my grandparents, who were immigrants from Poland. Every now and then in my childhood, a remote relative would appear and stick with us for some time, somebody that seemed various, or off, or perhaps haunted or episodically quite insane. My grandmother would certainly murmur that person's background in the Holocaust, typically something like, 'As a child, she concealed under the bed and also enjoyed the soldiers kill her parents.' Or, 'she remained in the wardrobe as they took her parents away.' The singular brave tale of my childhood had to do with the King of Denmark ( though I recognize currently it could not be historically precise, but it formed my suggestion of one of the most worthy method to live). The story states that when Jews were purchased to put on yellow celebrities, the King himself wore a yellow celebrity, and so masses of people followed his instance, and the order was void. In a time when whole lots of people are stated to be the 'other' as well as are under danger, that story about the King of Denmark is something all of us have to believe about.
What you can do:
Look around your area, read regional news, and also see if there is a team of individuals who appear particularly susceptible today. Beginning by providing them lovingkindness. This practice will certainly advise you to include as opposed to exclude them, to identify that they want to be delighted and safe and secure equally as all of us do. See if there is an action you could take to even more proactively reveal that care. Also if it seems sort of small as well as insufficient to address all troubles, it helps establish an authentic connection.
YJ visitors, just what do you believe? Is everyone except white fortunate males in immediate risk? Tell us on Facebook or InstagramĀ @yogajournal with hashtag #yjtoughquestions.

[TRANS] Hanryu Pia (May 2017) - B.A.P
āB.A.P as 6. Iām happy to be able to be on stage with all the membersā
With leader Bang Yongguk coming back after his break due to his illness, B.A.P are finally making a comeback as 6 in Japan withĀ āWAKE ME UPā. Starting with music programs in Korea first, they are currently in the middle of a world tour, how will things be for theĀ ācomplete B.A.Pā who have awoken after a long time?
The keywords for the new song are self-awareness, revolution and enlightenment.Ā
B.A.P have finally woken up as a complete body. Accomplishing a complete revival, āWAKE ME UPā which is to be released on 4/25 is a B.A.P-like song. Last year, after ending their hiatus period of around one and a half years, they have since made a comeback withĀ āSKYDIVEā and had leader Bang Yongguk going on a break due to his illness. This spring, they will be promoting as 6 long awaited by the fans, and the members too seem to have a feel for what theyāre going to do.Ā YG: Iām happy about being able to promote together after a long time. Standing on stage is our true selves so being able to stand there as 6 makes me happy.Ā DH: The 6 of us are gathered now, so I think weāre able to stand on stage more confidently that we have before. With the fans too, we are able to stand with our heads tall to interact with them.Ā YJ: Personally, the promotions we did for this album including the music program performances were satisfying overall. The fans were happy too and welcomed usĀ so we were glad as well. I think weāll be able to show a matured sideĀ evenĀ in the Japanese version.Ā JU: It came to me again how B.A.P really is about being as 6, and that that form is the best.Ā DH: For the Japanese version, Iād like people to focus on the MV in particular! I think the dance scenes that werenāt included in the Korean version is the highlight.Ā HC: We did filmed just beforeĀ the Korean comeback. We were pushed for time with preparations and although we didnāt have much time to practise the dance for the performances, we danced it many times whilst filming the Japanese MV so we were able to memorise it perfectly, which makes it one of the episodes about the filming for this single (laughs).Ā
With a smooth and sharp sound, āWAKE ME UPā provides an encouraging push with lyrics that contain the message to overcome doubts and worries whilst experiencing them. Bang Yongguk and Zelo participated in the lyrics for the Korean version.Ā YG: I incorporated many messages towards society. Usually, I already tend to write lyrics that appeal my doubts and thoughts about the society. The lyrics this time have that same nuance as well.Ā ZL: Self-awareness, revolution and enlightenmentĀ are the keywords. Whilst thinking about the lyrics which will be our base, I thought about how we are during performances as 6 and wrote the lyrics. I debuted at a young age so I wanted to show my growth from promoting as B.A.P to the fans, and on the contrary, to incorporate societal messages that I couldnāt experience, I referred to many things.Ā
Starting with producing for the album that Bang Yongguk spent his efforts on and a world tour that began in March revealing solo stages with self-composed songs, their talents as artists are high, and with their cool figures, the gap that comes through with their playful selves are what draws fans in.Ā DH: We wanted to show our individual charms as well for this tour so we prepared solo stages. The song that I sung was created with a composer friend of mine and I wrote it with him whilst discussing what a couple would feel if they were in this sort of a situation. I tend to receive a lot of inspiration from movies when Iām working. I like love stories, so I watch romance movies often and incorporate the feelings I felt into the lyrics and melodies.Ā ZL: In my case, rather than doing something to write a song, Iām the type to make memos of what I feel in everyday life and gain hints from reading over them. More than the written contents, I think it may be more about making memos to note down the memory of how I felt in that moment of writing.Ā HC: For the Seoul concert, we prepared water guns to play with the fans, but on the contrary we spotted fans who brought water guns. Itās fun to communicate like that, and Iām always ready to accept (your counterattacks)! (laughs)Ā JU: After having the corner where we chose a someone to come on stage, I was more conscious about communicating with fans. Iām a little worried if I escorted them properly though...... (shy). Itās become a fun memory.Ā YG: Not only with this tour, we want to continue challenging new things and give fans a fun time through our concerts.Ā
With a Korean comeback, a world tour, and furthermore, a Japanese comeback, the members are going through a busy spring. If you had a long break, what would you do? DH: Iāve planned about this for a long time, but I definitely want to go on a holiday with the 6 of us! ZL: A holiday where we can enjoy each and every moment will be nice......šµ YJ: Riding the banana boat in Okinawa comes to mind doesnāt it (laughs)Ā HC: When we went to Okinawa together, we just played to our hearts content (laughs). For that, the expenses piled up too, so Iād like to go somewhere that we can still have fun whilst not spending too much money.Ā
Finally, we asked them about their goals for this year. DH: I want to go and meet more BABYzā” ZL: I want to continue practising without stopping so that I can bring a good influence to the group as a B.A.P member! YG: Weāre planning for a new album after the tour. Weāll show you good performances as B.A.P so please look anticipate it!
Tell us more! B.A.P
Q1. Relating toĀ āWAKE ME UPā... What do you do first when you wake up? ZL: I brush my teeth, look at [myself in] the mirror and check my condition for that day. (DH: No, you eat) JU: Iāll think āanother 5 minutes......!ā, and go back to sleep.Ā YG: I stop the alarm and check the time.Ā HC: I check my phone and see that no one hasnāt contacted me today either... and so I confirm as much and start my day. (ALL: Arenāt you lonely?!) DH: I sing everyday, so I check my throatās condition and do vocal exercises. Iām an artist after all! (ALL: (grinning)) YJ: Iāll end the morning call from my manager. Heāll still call even if I tell him thatĀ āIām awakeā so I ignore it (laughs).Ā
Q2. Relating to the lyrics for the coupling song āI GUESS I NEED Uā -Ā āUntil the morning... I want to hug you right nowā - what type of females draws your heart in and makes you want to hug them subconsciously?! ZL: A female with a cute smile and is more charming as you know more about her...? I donāt know (shy). Someone who āI want to instinctively hug!ā. JU: A female who can naturally show that she is true to her own feelings and is charming in her unadorned self.Ā YG: Considering both their personality and appearance, I think a feminine person is attractive.Ā HC: Since Iām a talkative person, someone cheerful who talks even more than me draws me in. I want to listen to what she has to say as well.Ā DH: A cute female whoās not too skinny and has a younger-sister-like familiarity.Ā YJ: A female who can be a good influence to me and someone who I think I can learn from by being together is attractive to me. Iām not picky about looks.Ā
Q3. Relating to the lyricsĀ āparadise for just the two of usā... What place (paradise) and member do you want to go with? ZL: I want to go back to the times when Yongguk and I promoted as BANG&ZELO. Itās a precious time that whilst training, I learnt just how difficult it was to debut.Ā JU: With Zelo to Itaewon. I want to go and eat hamburgers! We werenāt able to go out freely before debut, so that was our only respite. Itās a precious memory so it seems like itād be fun if we went now! YG: Weāve been to Okinawa in the past before as 6, but if there was a chance, Iād like to go to Mexicoās Cancun with all 6 members. Since Himchan recommended it saying it was fun.Ā HC: To Spainās Ibiza where they say there are festivals 24 hours a day for all 365 days, I want to go with Jongup to have a refresher! DH: Iāll go to a marine corpsĀ camp with Himchan and be trained by a scary instructor.Ā He has no choice to object! (laughs) (HC: I can train myself so donāt worry!)Ā YJ: The dorm is my paradise. If I were to go then I guess itād be with Jongup who I live with (laughs). I want to order chicken and eat it.Ā
Q4. Like the coupling songĀ āBE HAPPYā, what moments do you feel unconditionally happy in? ZL: When I see results in my practise!Ā JU: The time when Iām watching anime and manga till late at night and fully enjoying that world. Lately Iāve been intoĀ āCLAYMOREā.Ā YG: When Iām composing. Iām obsessed with Japanese whisky lately so maybe Iāll write a song with that as the theme (laughs).Ā HC: When I can roll around in bed.Ā DH: The free time after schedules are finished for the day šµ YJ: When Iām performing as B.A.P!
We asked them to write messages that will get BABYz excited!Ā WAKE BABY UP! from B.A.PĀ YJ: Everyone! Itās Youngjae. I miss you! I love you always! DH: Everyone! I love youā”Ā YG: FREE. LOVE. REAL. ILLĀ ZL: R LA VIEWĀ HC: Everyone, Iām by your sideā” JU: Iām coming to meet you now. I love you.Ā

[TRANS] haru*hana (vol. 40) - B.A.P - Part 1
Click HERE for Part 2
Looking back on last year where they tried out new challenges as well
B.A.P has released their 6th single in Japan. Theyāll be holding their āB.A.P 2nd Japan Tour: Be. Act. Playā around Tokyo, Nagoya & Osaka from January 25.
ć¼ Please tell us about the highlight for the recorded songs this time. HC: The title track āFLY HIGHā is bright and refreshing, and personally itās a song that I really like. I thought that this song will definitely be loved by the Japanese fans, so I pushed strongly for it amongst the many demo tracks and said āI definitely want it to be this song!ā. YJ: I also like āFLY HIGHā the best out of the songs we recorded this time. I think the melodyās very B.A.P-like and I like that you feel so forward-looking when you listen to it. DH: Our youngest, Zelo, was in charge of the choreography for it. He worked really hard on it so please check out the dance as well! ZL: For the choreography this time round, we did various moves like starting off with line formations in the intro and first half, and then gathering everyone together tightly just before the rap starts. I included easy-to-follow moves in the chorus and I think the parts around there are the highlights. JU: In contrast to āFLY HIGHā, āFIRE FLAMEā has a slightly different feel to the songs weāve done till now and utilises trending sounds. Iād like you to experience B.A.Pās new charisma with sophisticated vocals. DH: Thatās right. I think that instead of boasting a powerful aura, its appeal lies in itās calmness and maturity.
ć¼ āWITH YOUā was originally a Korean song, but now itās been recorded as a Japanese version for the first time. HC: I think the Japanese fans are familiar with this song already, but itās our āfan songā. There are parts where we sing it with the fans during concerts, and itās a very special piece to us too. DH: Everyone sings it along with us in Japan too, and the best thing was the great response from the fans. Thus, we included āWITH YOUā in this single as well. Weād sung it in Korean till now, but now we can sing it together in Japanese so Iāll be glad if theyāre happy about that.
ć¼ There are various scenes in the āFLY HIGHā MV, like tunnels, rooftops and private jets; how was the filming? DH: We filmed for the first time in a tunnel! It was really new and fun. For the rooftop scenes, we saw beautiful scenery from the rooftop so it felt good. YJ: Me too! The first thing we filmed were the rooftop scenes and the breeze was felt nice. DH: There was food and drinks on the table for the party scene, but since they were all props, we didnāt eat much and only pretended to eat. The champagne and wine werenāt real either, it was juice (laughs).
ć¼ During the release of your single in Japan, you were promoting in Korea with āSKYDIVEā, how was that? YJ: To be honest, it was very tough (laughs). Both of the new songs were important, so we wanted to finish them perfectly, but there just wasnāt enough time... We did our best in preparations, but since the deadlines and schedules were already set, we did our very best within those parameters. The members worked hard on both the Japanese and Korean tracks, so please give them a listen.
ć¼ I heard that you visited Hawaii for the reality show āOne Fine Day in Hawaiiā last year. HC: I have no comment for this. I felt like I ended up with a sorta gagman role and Iām sad... (laughs). Iām just joking, everyday was dynamic and it was fun. We went surfing too. ZL: There were really so many fun things, but there were some that were cut from broadcast so itās a bit of a shame (laughs). Itās a fact that the whole trip had to be shortened [for broadcast] though I guess. Anyway, we had so much fun without rest that our bodies burned out by the end (laughs). JU: We went on cruises and such, and I think itād be fun if I go with my family one day!
ć¼ Yongguk is resting right now, but how is it promoting with 5 of you? HC: Everyone has a sense of responsibility and are working hard as if weāre rookies. Rather than saying itās hard to be the leader, compared to when Yongguk is leading the team, itās just different when Iām leading them.... JU: Himchan hyung, donāt be so vague and answer the question properly~ (laughs). The atmosphere when Yongguk hyung is leading is different to when Himchan hyung is leading. Itās not a bad thing, itās just simply different.
ć¼ Please tell us your thoughts on the tour starting at the end of January around Tokyo, Nagoya & Osaka. DH: We prepared a concert that weāre very confident about this time. I want to have a stage that we can enjoy with everyone, and show songs that everyone will love. I think we can meet many Japanese fans this year so Iām looking forward to it! YJ: Weāve toured in many countries, but weāve only done a national tour in Japan. So every time we get to tour around Japan, with many people coming to see us, I feel very grateful. Iāll work hard to match our BABYz expectations for this tour too!
